for your requirement add-in is not required. Tell me what issue you are getting by using normal sending mail. Put the break point and let me know the error.

I tried but not working . You have send me a link before I tried with that. The code is:------

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668191

public partial class ThisAddIn
{
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Outlook.Inspectors inspectors;
inspectors = this.Application.Inspectors;
inspectors.NewInspector += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.InspectorsEvents_NewInspectorEventHandler(Inspectors_NewInspector);

}

private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
}
void Inspectors_NewInspector(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Inspector Inspector)
{
Outlook.MailItem mailItem = Inspector.CurrentItem as Outlook.MailItem;
if (mailItem != null)
{
if (mailItem.EntryID == null)
{
mailItem.Subject = "This text was added by using code";
mailItem.To = "[email protected]";
System.IO.StreamReader r = new System.IO.StreamReader("D:/Files/");
string body = r.ReadToEnd();
mailItem.Body = body;
}

}

The code given above is working. It will open outlook exp when I click on New Email , To, Subject and body will showing the proper text. But I do not know how to use the add-ins with user controls like buttons. As you know that I need that when I click a button email will be send.

Guide me

for testing purpose can keep only less number of files in your folder and test it

Its showing Failure in sending mail

Iftikar Hussain13y ago

Your server is imposing a limit on the number of emails that can be sent for a SMTP connection. This is typically done to prevent spamming. You need to restrict the number of messages that you send at one time in order not to exceed this limit. Or, you can ask the server administrator to adjust the limit.

kritika Rana13y ago

Hi

What you are saying is Ok. But attached files will not be opened on the receivers machine it has to be as the body of the email. This is the requirement.

Hi,
Instead of copying data to outlook and then send it, you write code in your application for sending mail by attaching the files like this

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();

mailMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Sender Name");

mailMessage.To.Add("[email protected]");

mailMessage.Subject = "Test Subject";

mailMessage.Body = "Test Body";

mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;

string path = @"C:\Test\Mail";

DirectoryInfo dinfo = new DirectoryInfo(path);

var files = dinfo.GetFiles("*").OrderByDescending(s => s.LastWriteTime).ToList();

foreach (var fileInfo in files)

{

var filePath = fileInfo.FullName;

mailMessage.Attachments.Add(GetFileAttachments(filePath, fileInfo.Name));

}

SmtpClient mailbox = new SmtpClient(YOUR SMPT SERVER ADDRESS);

mailbox.Send(mailMessage);

}

private Attachment GetFileAttachments(string filePath, string sourceFileName)

{

using (FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(filePath))

{

MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();

memStream.SetLength(fileStream.Length);

fileStream.Read(memStream.GetBuffer(), 0, (int)fileStream.Length);

Attachment attachment = new Attachment(memStream, sourceFileName);

return attachment;

}

Iftikar
